Added 2023-10-24 17:27:22 +0000 UTCWhat can you do for a sore throat? Prevention with a healthy active lifestyle is best...but sometimes the immune system gets run down and then what? I tried two different things this morning for a very sore scratchy throat...
1) Hot & cold throat compress, 3 minutes hot then 30 seconds ice cold repeated 3 times. Big improvement in the soreness by the time I finished!
2) Onion poultice: I chopped up an onion fine and placed in a damp cloth, put some oil (most any kind of cooking or beauty oil would work, I used castor) on my upper chest to help keep the onion from irritating the skin and then layered the onion with a tea towel on top to help hold warmth. It has to stay in place at least 10 minutes, and up to 8 hours. We'll see what happens 😉
